From my /usr/local/bin/README file where I record this sorta stuff:


ghostscript 4.03        16-Dec-96    
 
     need jpegsrc.v6a.tar.gz unpacked and available
     need zlib-1.0.2.tar.gz unpacked in gs4.03/zlib
     need libpng-0.89c.tar.gz upacked in gs4.03/libpng
     modify cc-head.mak to specify:
	 JSRCDIR=/wherever unpacked 
	 XINCLUDE=/usr/openwin/include
	 XLIBDIRS=/usr/openwin/lib
	 LDFLAGS=$(XLDFLAGS) -R/usr/openwin/lib
	 gsdatadir = $(gsdir)  (/usr/local/lib/ghostscript for init files etc)
	 INSTALL=install.sh -c (where install.sh is a BSD version of install)
     tar_cat
     ln -s unix-cc.mak Makefile
     make
     su root
     make install
     modify gs_init.ps to make a4 default paper size



ghostview-1.5           09-Dec-96

    xmkmf
    make
    in Makefile:
        alter BINDIR to /usr/local/bin
        alter INSTALL to $(BINDIR)/install.sh
    make install
    chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/ghostview


This is on Solaris 2.5.1 SPARC.  Works for our system.
